The Official General Zod Thread

[Mr. Socko]

If they use Zod, they may as well just remake Superman II but kinda put a spin on it. But that wouldn't be my first choice. I'd rather green Brainiac.

[Super Kal]

I don't ever want to see Zod again

[Mr. Socko]

What? You didn't like him?

[Dark_Lord]

If they use Zod, they may as well just remake Superman II but kinda put a spin on it. But that wouldn't be my first choice. I'd rather green Brainiac.

Why cant they use Brainiac and Zod? I think it would be cool...but thats just me...

[Showtime]

I could have and would have accepted Zod in Superman Returns, but now, please no.

[JamalYIgle]

Sometimes I wonder....am I the only person here who used to read Eerie and Creepy as they came out? Damn Frazetta did some neat covers for them.


Nothing to do with Zod....just referencing the last word in Show's post.

you weren't the only one,My friend.

[C. Lee]

As a horror fan I certainly know of them, but I never actually read any of them...

http://www.gdarkness.com/monstermags/eerie001-020.htmlGolly gee whiz.....what am I supposed to do with you?:woot:

What? You didn't like him?
Zod stole his lunch money once.:csad:
you weren't the only one,My friend.
Ah....another with a misspent youth.....:woot:

By the way....love Herbie VS H.E.R.B.I.E. :hyper:

[Warhammer]

Zod is stupid.
He's already apart of continuity. What's going to be the excuse?
He came back for some more beatings? He's going to get his hand broken again?

Brainiac all the way, and if it isn't Brainiac, bring on Doomsday.
Hell, I'd take Bizarro (since he was basically in Superman III and it's been wiped from continuity) before Zod again.

:wow:

[Spider-Fan83]

anyone else think that, Parker Posey, and lex's big thug (on the far right (http://media.movies.ign.com/media/033/033915/img_3695941.html)), would of been good for Ursa, an Non (if they wont already used) with zod in a movie

though, other then them? maybe
ursa- Lara Flynn Boyle (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001223/)
non - Marcus Jean Pirae (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1070061/), or Ralf Moeller (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005241/)
as for zod him self
i could see, Jude Law (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000179/), maybe even Ewan McGregor (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000191/)?
or for a lesser known, i mgiht say, Max Ryan (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1043075/)

[dark_b]

wouldnt it be great if singer made another movie in 2009 so that they would push the sequel until 2011 and then we would found out that the villain is zod?

Not really.

[Super Kal]

i just don't understand why some people wanna see him again...

[Mr. Socko]

What if Zod comes back to take over the world and we find out that he is the father of Jason and not Superman!


Goddamn that could get real sic!

[dark_b]

Not really.i would laugh my ass of :o

i think if htis would happen some guy would try to kill singer. :oldrazz:

[Super Kal]

sounds like the Zod storyline in Action Comics

[Mr. Socko]

sounds like the Zod storyline in Action Comics


What happened in there?

[VenomsMom]

Loved Zod in the classic SMII. And would have liked him in returns along with Lex. It would have assured that we were done with them and we could move on to other villains. Now their time has come and gone so let us move on.

apparently singer offered jude law the role of Zod and he turned it down.

oh god...
just throw the kid and never mention it again.

can they do something new and refreshing, cant they?

[VenomsMom]

oh god...
just throw the kid and never mention it again.

can they do something new and refreshing, cant they?
Throw him where? They cant do anything new and refreshing until a reboot comes and they start a new francise all together. If this Singer sequel happens you can bet your sweet a$$ that kid will get more screen time than Clark and Supes combined.:o

[chamber-music]

If Singer was smart he would say Jason was an illusion created by Mxyzptlk or something and we never see him again.

[Qwerty©]

oh god...
just throw the kid and never mention it again.

can they do something new and refreshing, cant they?They already did. they gave Superman a kid.

Oh wait, you didn't like that, so it doesn't count.

[superbaby]

They already did. they gave Superman a kid.

Oh wait, you didn't like that, so it doesn't count.
ya, what a BRRRRRRRRRRRRILLIANT idea.

the new and refreshing i meant the villain.

general zod was done before in the movie. there are dozens of villains can be used for the movie. singer has turned people into hating donner's superman movies bad enough.

Throw him where? They cant do anything new and refreshing until a reboot comes and they start a new francise all together. If this Singer sequel happens you can bet your sweet a$$ that kid will get more screen time than Clark and Supes combined.:o
then, singer should as well call it "superkid the movie". anyway, if a sequel is happening, i hope they just don't mention the kid as if he never born/existing.

[BruceBanner]

RE-BOOT, RE-BOOT, RE-BOOT

[BruceBanner]

If Singer was smart he would say Jason was an illusion created by Mxyzptlk or something and we never see him again.

That would be SMART?

[BruceBanner]

singer has turned people into hating donner's superman movies bad enough.

I don't hate Donner's work on Superman, I hate Singer's work on Superman.

i hope they just don't mention the kid as if he never born/existing.

They can't, and won't, do that.

[Mr. Socko]

Singer's work on Superman is essentially the same stuff that Donner brought to the table. My problem was that stuff that worked in the 70s doesn't always work today.

[BruceBanner]

Exactly, which is why Singer shouldn't have attempted it, but Donner isn't to blame for Singer choosing to kiss his ass.

[Mogwai]

i just don't understand why some people wanna see him again...

i can't even comprehend why some ppl wouldn't want to see him again.. ;)

[Qwerty©]

The thing is, people are drooling for a super-fight in the sequel, yet the same people are against Zod as a villain, despite that his presence pretty much guarantees a super-fight?

[BruceBanner]

Maybe they just don't wanna see another super-fight with Zod, they've already seen one.

[dark_b]

The thing is, people are drooling for a super-fight in the sequel, yet the same people are against Zod as a villain, despite that his presence pretty much guarantees a super-fight?i dont knwo why but i am insulted because of this post.

obviously one of the biggest mistakes accordin to a lot of people(even the one who like the movie) is that there was to much stuff from teh first superman movie.

so why again use something from donner? why use zod?

with zod we would get a super.fight? no really? :o
and we wouldnt get a super fight with brainiac who could be one of the best villains in a comic-book movie? he is smart,he is powerfull and he could be visual amazing.

[M.O.Steel]

zod is a cool character, and very important to the superman mythos. But with so many good possibilities, why would you want to keep rehashing the same guy over and over?

[Qwerty©]

zod is a cool character, and very important to the superman mythos. But with so many good possibilities, why would you want to keep rehashing the same guy over and over?Funnily enough, the comics themselves rehash Zod over and over, every time he appears, he is never the same. The Zod in 2004 was different to the one in 2006.

[mjbull23]

I can appreciate a logical argument and sound reasoning as much as anyone. Here's the thing...

Lots of Superman fans have no qualms whatsoever with Luthor repeatedly appearing in Superman movies ad infinitum. However, the very mention of Zod reappearing one final time in a Superman movie seems to turn so many people off.

Eh?... I don't get it. Personally, I'd love to see Zod appear one final time to settle a personal score with Supes.

Oh well.

[Mr. Socko]

I'd prefer to see Zod as the main villain of MOS than Lex again. That's for damn sure.

[Steelsheen]

between Lex and Zod.... i'm going for Lex.

but the writing has to be 100x better.

[VenomsMom]

If it ever came down to Lex and Zod as our only choices, by all means do Zod.

And a certain u-hum...popular supehero show had Zod on it recently if i'm not mistaken.

I agree and i believe the SR team knows that they need to bring something new to the table.Despite what some people here say or might think.

Even if Zod is brought back i think he'll be different more EMO.:dry:

[Retroman]

[Super Kal]

because he's been done to death in everything...

to hell with Zod... give someone else a chance to shine.

[Rob-el]

One point about Zod though that could be used in a future movie comes form STM (assumin we keep that universe). During the sentencing Jor-el mentions how Zod was once charged with maintaining the defence of the planet Krypton. What was he defending Krypton against and could that threat make its way to earth and if so would Zod be a valuble resource to have on side in fighting that threat?

[dark_b]

now imagine singer on hte set and being happy about the new script. then he starts working with terence and they start to talk about superman 2. two days later and you have have zod in the MOS script.
is this idiotic? of course it is. it sounds like some high superman fan would make htis up. but so is the fact that there were 100 of homages in SR.

enough is enough :woot:

Oh well.Why don't you just watch Superman 2 then? Why would you want the first two superman movies to be covertly remade?

[dark_b]

Why don't you just watch Superman 2 then? Why would you want the first two superman movies to be covertly remade?maybe they are guys who WB paid? :woot:

i just dont get why would someone want again to have villains from previous superman movie. makes zero sense.

are they afraid of something new? :huh:

[Super Kal]

considering what they've turned down in the past 20 years... I'd say yes.

Interesting concept.

[mjbull23]

Why don't you just watch Superman 2 then? Why would you want the first two superman movies to be covertly remade?

I can empathize with your sentiment on this one. I truly can. Your saying "Well Zod's already been done, let's get away from the past and move forward". It makes complete sense. There are people over in the Batman forums who believe it or not, have no interest in seeing a reimagining of the Joker, simply because he was featured in B89.

My own personal preference I suppose. I'd be very interested in seeing an updated portrayal of the character, that plus, I'd like to continue to see the conflict between Zod, Luthor ,and Supes escalate farther along. It's a premise which I find very appealing.

Anyway, I don't think Zod will make his appearance in the 2nd installment. My hope is now for him to make an appearance in the 3rd.

[The Joker_1000]

If General Zod is in MOS, he needs to be done completely different & should not be accompanied by Non & Ursa because then Singer would just be copying off of Superman II. We should have a young American actor portraying Zod & the portrayal should lean towards what Michael Rosenbaum did as Zod for "Smallville". If Zod is the villain, he needs to be alone this time.

[MiddleSuperName]

keep that idiot character away from any future films

[DorkyFresh]

how's he an idiot character? he's one of the most live action-friendly characters in Superman's rogue gallery.

[MiddleSuperName]

he was put in for a 70's sequel movie and does not beliong in mythology

[DorkyFresh]

he was in the comics BEFORE the movies came out buddy. again, please explain to me what makes him an idiot. if you can't expand on your initial statement then i'll just assume you're spouting nonsense.

[MiddleSuperName]

it is time for a new film series and he appeared in a silly 70's movie. i am sure it was good for the time but we need a character not so silly to fight superman.

[DorkyFresh]

not that i want to see Zod, besides Lex i'd rather see a villain that hasn't been used yet, but it's not like they can't reinvent him to be more threatening or not so silly. personally, i don't see what was so silly about him in SM2 anyway. he was very commanding and a genuine danger to Superman. now Nuclear Man......THAT was a silly villain.

[Zack Snyder]

Wait how many Zod threads are there :confused:

[Zionite]

Wait how many Zod threads are there :confused:
My question exactly.I think this thred should be merged with the Zod is Confirmed thread.
Ive been thinkin about how Zod would be beaten in the reboot.Pretty tired off the usual "blast him to the phantom zone".I think it would be cool if Zod is killed.Let me explain.Zod attacks the world.The world declares war on Zod and Superman since they think he is league with Zod.They use Kryptonite weapons provided by Luthor who speaks publicly against the aliens.After a couple of battles,Superman is able to persuade Zod on the error of his ways and he surrenders to the Goveernment but Luthor has Zod killed regardless but pretends to public he had to.Superman confronts him on this which leads to the famuos "Ill be watching you scene2with Superman.

[DorkyFresh]

weird, i didn't see this Zod thread when i searched for it before making the other one. my fault i suppose....could be worse though. i'm constantly seeing threads being made to ask a specific question, when they could've easily just have asked that question in another thread ("Does any version of Parasite steal specific powers" Thread)...the MODs don't seem to mind though.

[The Shield]

edit (replying to old comments is really sad) haha
